Children Of One

Children of One, from New York, was a short-lived but intriguing American psychedelic rock band from the late 1960s. Their sound was heavily influenced by Eastern music, incorporating instruments like sitar, tambura, dilruba, and tabla, alongside Western instruments like flute, piano, and saxophone. The result was a fusion of psychedelic rock with Indian classical textures. They released a single, self-titled album in 1969 on Real Records, which has since become a cult favorite among collectors of obscure psych and experimental music. The album is considered a hidden gem of the psychedelic era, notable for its spiritual and improvisational approach. It has been reissued a few times, including on CD and vinyl by labels like Akarma and Survival Research.
